New Xbox Live Games, Switchball, Commanders: Attack! & Battlestar Galactica
Early next week, Sierra Online (a division of Vivendi Games) will be officially announcing three new titles for Xbox Live Arcade. The publisher has been one of the most visible proponents of the XBLA platform, as they’ve released some of Arcade’s most popular downloadable titles, including Carcassonne and Assault Heroes. Given their success with those games, it’s probably not surprising that they’ve got more in the pipeline.
Team Xbox has managed to squeeze out some details...
Switchball
A polymorphous ball exhibits different physical characteristics as it changes form as either a standard Marbleball, a feather-light Airball, an electrically charged Powerball or a dense and powerful Metalball. Players will have to solve their way through challenging levels packed with tricky obstacles, traps and mazes.
Commanders: Attack!
Commanders: Attack! is a gripping turn-based tactical game with a combination of strategic troop placement and entertaining head-to-head warfare. Featuring a 1930’s art deco look and feel, players will use missile launchers, bombers and infantry to amputate the enemies’ defenses and conquer the land.
Battlestar Galactica
Inspired by the hit television series, Battlestar Galactica, airing on the SCI FI Channel, Battlestar Galactica is an action-packed top-down space combat game set in the universe of the hugely popular sci-fi television show. Players can take part in enormous multiplayer space battles with up to eight players online or play through the single-player campaign that includes memorable missions from the TV series.
